The new Puma platform is designed to carry a crew of nine along with six additional soldiers, enhancing both transport and combat capabilities. The integration of the MELLS system allows the vehicle to engage targets without exposing itself to enemy observation, a key requirement on the modern battlefield.
The Spike missile family includes systems for a wide range of platforms and distances, from the shoulder-launched Spike SR with a range of up to two kilometres to the long-range NLOS Spike, also known as Tammuz, capable of striking targets up to 32 kilometres away. Despite emerging threats such as FPV drones, the German General Staff continues to view the Spike LR and LR2 variants as highly relevant, as their engagement ranges exceed those of most drone systems and support a broad and flexible armour firepower strategy.
